PIFA-mediated chemo-divergent esterification reaction: access to the synthesis of α-ketoesters and esters from sulfoxonium ylides
Suhag Singh Sahay, Segufa Rahaman, Madhu, Swapan DeyPIFA-mediated chemo-divergent transformation of sulfoxonium ylides enables selective synthesis of α-ketoesters and simple esters. Mechanistic studies reveal product divergence, broad substrate scope, and late-stage functionalization.
